The Largest Farm in the World.

In the extreme southwest corner of
Louisiana lies the largest producing farm
in the world. 1t runs 100 miles north
and south and twenty five miles east and
west, and is owned and operated by a
general manager, Mr.. j. B. Watkins,
gives an interesting account of this gil
gantic plantation, which throws the
great Dalrymple farm of Dakota into the
shade completely. He was cornered by
reporter at the st. James Hotel and
asked 10 give the particulars of his gil
gantic enterprise. "The million and a
half acres of land in our tract, " Mr.. Wat
kins said, twas purchased in 1888 from
the State of Louisiana and from the
United States Government. At that
time it was a vast grazing land for the
cattle of the few dealers OF the neighbor-
hood. When | took possession found
over 20, 900 head of half-wild horses and
cattle. My first work was to divide the
immense tract into convenient pastures,
establishing stations or ranches every six
miles. The fencing alone cost in the
neighborhood. of $50, 900. The land 1
found to best adapted to rice, sugar,
corn, and cotton.
'All our cultivating, ditching, etc., is
done by steam power. We take tract,
say half mile wide for instance, and
place an engine at each side. Thee en-
gines are portable, and operate a cable
attached to four plows, and under this
arrangement we are able to plow thirty
acres day with only the labor of three
men. Our narrowing, planting, and cul-
tivating is done in like manner. In
fact, there is not draught horse on the
entire place. We have, of course, horses
for the hcrders of cattle of which we now
have 16, 900 head. The Southern Pacific
Railroad runs for thirty six miles through
our farm. We have three steamboats,
operating on the waters of our own es-
tate, upon which there are 300 miles of
navigable waters. We have an ice fac
tory, bank, shipyard and a rice mill. {"

His Little Girl.

AS is known, the daughter of Nc
Wicker, the elder, married Edwin
Booth, but it is not generally known
that when their marital relations became
strained that McNicker sided with his
daughter, and that Horace McNicker
(her brother) took up Booths cause.
This led to an estrangement between
McNicker aud his son that absolutely
separated them. Time passed on with
out the breach being healed or over.

the first trouble, McVicker pere, Journey
ing on the cars, by chance made the
acquaintance Of IA little girl-a mere
child-whose beauty and winning ways
fascinated him.
Just before he left the cars he asked
her her name, and she answered enc

old man went to the child's nurse and in

the child of Horace McNicker," was the
reply. Without a word the father wrote
on a card: "Horace, come to me at
once" signed his name to it and sent il
by the nurse TO his son. The child had
softened his heart and brought together
once FOR all time the father and son.

Medicines which cause expectoratien must
be avoided. For five hundred years ply
sicians have tried to cure Consumption by
using them, and have failed. Where there is
great arrangement of the secretlons, with
engagement of air-cells, there is always
profuse expectoration. Now Piso's Cure re-
moves the engagement and the arrangement

this way only diminishes the amount Of mat

up cough, but removes the cause Of it,

causes to exercise freely in the open air, apart

cough is unlike any other symptom of dis
